This week students from Prep to Year 6 are commencing their Term 2 cyber safety incursions with Inform & Empower. These sessions are held at the beginning of every term and focus on safe and responsible online behaviour. 

 

Keep your eye out for the parent handout that accompanies the session over the next few weeks. These handouts provide tips and conversation starters for parents to continue the discussions at home.

Getting the Screen Time Balance Right

 

A big theme in the Inform and Empower sessions is the balance of screen time and 'green time.' As educators we are always mindful of screen time and are working to teach our students about a balance between time on and off screens.

 

Last night on 'The Project' there was an interesting piece about screen time, addiction and young people. It's definitely worth a watch for all parents. Click on the Twitter screenshot below to view the video. 

 

Our 'Parenting Ideas' article this week supports this theme and suggests ways to help your family get the screentime balance right. Click on the article above to read it.
